>The world needs to make sure that everyone—and not just people who are well-off—benefits from artificial intelligence. "That's why we will keep everything closed source and charge for access!" :D

Yea most people don't know the difference. Heck I didn't before I worked at the PO.

It would be nice if all the links here and in the rest of your newsletter were categorized and made part of a more permanent resource like [this awesome AI repo](https://github.com/awe50me/Awesome-AI). I would also encourage you to substitute `twitter.com` in your links with `nitter.net` because the latter does not require javascript to view, and is reportedly much faster.

It apparently ate a lot of Reddit and Twitter, and was designed to be very "agreeable". To produce sensible results, it needs feedback from humans, and of course the algorithm then evolves to produce results that the group of "trainers" want to see. It is stupid to think that such a system could in any way be "neutral" or "objective". You could, of course, try to make the imput perfectly represe…

Facial recognition software is notorious for issues recognizing black people, so it may have been more than just the pregnancy. https://sitn.hms.harvard.edu/flash/2020/racial-discrimination-in-face-recognition-technology/ https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/police-facial-recognition-technology-cant-tell-black-people-apart/

As a recent college graduate, I can tell you no one is successfully using ChatGPT to cheat on exams or assignments. The plain-ol’ internet is a good enough resource to support academic dishonesty.

Some day people will quit using the confusing and nigh meaningless ‘global south’, but I guess not today

You're kinda right, but explainability in ML is important and especially in applications such as software used in criminal investigations as described in the video. Imagine getting arrested and tried over a crime you didn't commit, and when your defense cross examines the prosecutor over their argument, they shrug their shoulders and says "idk man, our new software we're trialing says it's him…

The biggest mistake they made with AI is calling it “artificial intelligence” or any name that allows humans to think there is any sort of thinking or logic going on. I’m so sick of AI already.

I think the whole world is going to be without jobs. We'll all be pushed back to manual labour. We'll be working hard manual labour to pay for robots and AI to generate our entertainment.

It has gotten to the point where I basically have a few (tentatively) "trusted" websites that I go to for information, topic news, and entertainment and consider all new sources that are pushed at me as suspicious until proven otherwise, assuming I give them a chance at all. I do not browse algorithmic aggregators at all. I don't even trust YouTube to actually notify me in a timely way anymore w…

I agree that the laws need to be adapted to make using AI to create these kinds of child abuse images a crime. This is not like making a cartoon or drawing. AI images can look alarmingly realistic. The article even mentions that they are now having to spend extra time examining these images to discern if they are real or generated by AI. That’s really scary.

Okay, controversial take but hear me out: if there are pedos out there exchanging cp, I'd much rather have them use AI for it than actual kids. *Edit: Of course, provided the AI itself is using adult data to make up fake cp, otherwise this take doesn't work at all.*

India doesnt really have a horse in the race and is more concerned with profiting from both sides. It sells Russian oil at a mark-up since China and India can fleece them for cheap and sells Western products to Russia. Wouldnt be surprised if they just sell Nvidia chips to China too if more restrictions come down from EU/US.

bold of you to assume that people with AI girlfriends would otherwise have human girlfriends.

If they outright fired piles of people without giving a palatable reason then it looks like the company is in trouble and/or that their management are incompetent. Zuck has both said they’re laying off “low performers” and replacing staff with AI and people eat it up. I was part of a substantial number of layoffs last year at a different company that said they were improving productivity by inve…

> You tell these people that you skipped Christmas because you had to fix an open source dependency to unblock some random guy in Indian if you have to… "I worked extra hard outside of working hours to get it done" is explicitly listed as a Concern answer (i.e. a wrong answer and one that will get you rejected) in the interviewing guides for Deliver Results and Earn Trust. The thing about y…

what about your children's children , that were educated BY ai.... I think my daughter kids will live in a completely different world than I. In no previous jump between generations, will there be as much change as the next 50 years.

They've been in Ukraine for years, they thought they'd have it in a week. They needed help from North Korea, and North Korea pulled out due to too many losses. There is no way Russia could stand against NATO, nut unless they get military aid from America.

Why are so many people on this crusade to "save" humans from AI? Mind you're own f-ing business and let people do what they want with their time and money
